IBM API Connect Likes & Dislikes

Like

Integrates seamlessly with IBM DataPower Gateway and Secure Gateway to protect APIs from threats at every layer. Apart from this I really like that it also offers version control, creation & testing of workflows and flexible cloud deployment.

Like

Escabilidad y estabilidad, nos permiten tener alto volumen de transacciones con monitoreo de métricas en tiempo real. Gestión centralizada: Su consola amigable nos permite llevar el control de las versiones y las apis de forma organizada. Integración: La implementación para crear servicios para sistemas externos ha sido fácil.

Dislike

For a beginner, I would say it might not be easy to understand everything, the learning curve is steep, but if you get the whole thing and then it becomes super easy to do manage the whole API lifecycle.

Dislike

La documentación no siempre es clara y aveces no contienen ejemplos que se puedan tomar como guía de nuevos desarrollos.
